Drug Sniffing Dogs At Routine Traffic Stops And The Fourth Amendment

In other words, if the police don't have a warrant or probable cause to search you or your property, they can't. The fourth amendment to the Constitution can cause some confusion among individuals who have been detained at a routine traffic stop and had drug sniffing dogs inspect their car.
